The Lone Ranger, the person characterised by the catchphrase “I work on my own terms”. The couch commentator, the one always sitting on the sidelines but always has an opinion on how things should be done. We laugh and joke about these generalisations, but they are real and they are dangerous…

Do Not Build Your Faith On The Sand
The foundations of a house are unseen, hidden behind layers of earth, hidden beneath a heavy structure that looks the part and maybe even has all the right features to say it’s beautiful. But if there is a crack or a fault in the foundations, that beautiful house won’t stand for long. It won’t crumbleContinue reading “Do Not Build Your Faith On The Sand”
The Certainty of The New Year…
To say that 2020 was a bit of a surprise is probably one of the biggest understatements in the world. Nobody expected to spend the majority of the year at home. Like many people, you maybe began the year with hopes and dreams, laughing and hugging loved ones whilst watching fireworks and sipping some bubbly.Continue reading “The Certainty of The New Year…”
Transfer growth ≠ growth
Last week I wrote an article about how transfer growth isn’t something that should be celebrated as much as it is. It’s fine, but it’s no indication of spiritual growth or sadly of people becoming Christians. You can read the article here. Naturally there was some discussion afterwards, publicly and privately which has lead meContinue reading “Transfer growth ≠ growth”

There are countless things in the world that should be celebrated. There are plenty of things that happen within the church that should be celebrated.

The churchContinue reading “A Hidden Problem of COVID19”
Do Not Be Defined By Your Past
Every person has a past, Christians are no different. Listen to testimonies from Christians and you’ll soon find out that some have a very sketchy and difficult past, whilst others have a more ‘normal’ past pre-Christ. Regardless of what you have done in life, regardless of what sins you have committed, every Christian must knowContinue reading “Do Not Be Defined By Your Past”
Listen To Various Voices
The last few weeks and months have been a very interesting time to be alive. It’s been a very strange time with people on two sides of an issue slinging mud at each other. We’ve had different approaches to the Coronavirus, to lockdown and church services, to BLM, social justice and to the President ofContinue reading “Listen To Various Voices”
Don’t Pass Your Duties to Others
Time, busy, effort, sacrifice and capacity, all words that we probably use on a regular basis, is not a daily basis. There are plenty of times where we have valid excuses and reasons to then pass on our duties. In fact there are times where it is the wisest thing. But there are times whenContinue reading “Don’t Pass Your Duties to Others”
Tell me what you’re looking for…
This blog started off as a little bit of fun, I didn’t expect it to turn into what it is today. Initially I just wanted to write reviews of the books I read to help people get a feel for some of the good books out there. I started posting once a month. Then itContinue reading “Tell me what you’re looking for…”
